Premiere
Songs from Kavisha Mazzella, Neil Murray, Carl Pannuzzo, Eva Popov
Performed by local choirs and special guests
This concert is the culmination of a 1-year eco-cultural-music collaboration, using song to reclaim understanding and appreciation of our environment.
ARIA award winning songwriters Kavisha Mazzella and Neil Murray, together with the multi-talented Carl Pannuzzo and Eva Popov, were commissioned by the Singing from Country to create new songs to honour old knowledge.
Singing from Country brings together members of the Dja Dja Wurrung community and field naturalists with some of Australia’s finest writers to compose powerful and moving original songs for choirs. This uplifting concert invites you to join in with some of the best community choirs and singers in the region, to celebrate the fragile and beautiful ecosystems that sustain our lives.
‘Music is a universal language, it tells stories. It helps communicate love for land, deepen knowledge of country and strengthen community’ Terry White, project originator
